Three Seattle Seahawks players left their sideline Thursday night just before the national anthem was played prior to their game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Defensive linemen Branden Jackson and Quinton Jefferson, and offensive lineman Duane Brown ran toward the tunnel leading to their locker room following team introductions and before the start of the anthem. They returned to the sideline immediately after it concluded. All three were among a group of Seattle players that sat during the anthem last season.

There were no other actions by either Seattle or Indianapolis players during the performance of anthem.

Duane Brown says he did stay in locker room during anthem to make a statement about social injustices. Said he didn't want to kneel. Said he will likely stay in locker room for anthem all season.

He tweeted the following after leaving: “At a time when so many Americans are inspiring our nation with their courage, resolve, and resilience, now, more than ever, we should rally around our Flag and everything that unites us. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I don't think it's too much to ask NFL players to respect the Flag and our National Anthem. I stand with President Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem."

Niners defensive back Eric Reid responded: "If I need to say it every time y'all ask me, I will: This is not about the military. This is not about the flag. This is not about the anthem."

Reid, who joined Colin Kaepernick in kneeling during the anthem in 2016, called Pence's walkout a "political stunt."
